WOW!

Well, I am charting new territory for me....got Anabelle for 2 weeks!!! I am only on the 5th day with only 10 more to go!! WHOOOHOO!! She is a brilliant girl and very hands on. She is not too much into coloring, but very much into discovering!! She is a thinker,a joker,a 3/12 year old girl going on 13, head strong (genetic I hear!) and a true delight to keep her! I am so not use to having a girl for more than a day by herself, that this is a real eye opener! I think that since I was already crazy, God decided to let me get off easy with only 3 boys...these girls are truly a totally different breed from the get-go! Interesting. We have been busy and Papa is a good helper...sometimes....even though he is more into scaring and teasing and that just makes more work for me somehow. All in all, it is a GREAT experience! One I will never forget and hopefully she won't either...for the good that is~!

We went to the old Circle theatre last Saturday to watch Neil Youngs "Heart of Gold". It was a really neat time...very small theatre that shows like artsy fartsy stuff. The Circle use to be one of only 3 theatres in Tulsa! We came home and then watched a Johnny Cash special and then a Van Morrison special. Must have been a music weekend!! We watched a movie on Sunday called The Family Stone...it was GOOD! Dad consumed a book by Vince Flynn this weekend! That is his current favorite author. I am knitting my first purse!! Getting ready for Anabelle to spend 2 weeks with us...taking our vitamins and getting lots of rest!! We can't WAIT!! Will post pics later IF I have time!!Working at Curves, working at marriage, working at life...Succeeding in most!! Getting ready for a whirlwind summer schedule which we both are looking forward to, considering LAST summer was a bust!

A REAL PROTEST SONG!!

Because I am "geek challenged", you will have to copy(ctrl c) and paste(ctrl v) this address to see MY war video!!!

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11924.htm

I’ve been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you’ve seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And there’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can’t take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

There’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can’t even say the names

They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they’re never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
